Aaron Rodgers is currently the quarter back for the Green Bay Packers. He was the twenty-fourth player selected in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft. He went from being thought of as not very good to being ranked one of the best quarterbacks of all time. He also had the pressure to come and try to "replace" the Packers' previous quarter back, Brett Favre. Rodgers did a great job of doing that role and didn't let the Packer's fans down.
Aaron Rodgers was born on December 2, 1983 in Chico, California. He went to highschool at Pleasant Valley High School and played on their foot ball team as quarterback. For his first year of college, he was recruited to Butte Community college where he lead them to finish in a 10-1 record. Then he went to the University of California Berkely and played for the California Golden Eagles for three years.
Aaron Rodgers has been on the team since 2005, but from 2005 to 2007 he was their back up quarter back. Then, when Brett Favre announced his retirement on March 4, 2008, that opened up the Packer's starting quarter back postion to Aaron Rodgers for the 2008 season. He has done many great things for the Packers since his starting season. In 2010, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers won the Super Bowl. Rodgers also owns the league's lowest career pass interception percentage for quarterbacks during the regular season, which is 1.82%. Over all he is a great quarterback that will hopefully play for the Packers for many years to come.
